Our Take

Ah, Chet Baker, the smooth-talking, trumpet-wielding crooner with a face that launched a thousand swoons. His latest release, "Chet Baker & Crew" on Solid Yellow Vinyl, is a retro-cool masterpiece that transports you back to the smoky jazz clubs of yesteryear.

From the moment the needle hits the grooves, you're instantly transported to a world where the martinis are cold, the vibes are hot, and Chet's velvety voice floats like a dreamy cloud above it all. The album kicks off with the toe-tapping "To Mickey's Memory," a bouncy number that sets the tone for the rest of the ride.

Baker's trumpet playing is as smooth as silk throughout, weaving effortlessly between melodies and improvisations, reminding us why he's a true master of his craft. Tracks like "Jumpin' Off a Clef" and "Pawnee Junction" showcase his virtuosity, while his vocals on "No Ties" will have you feeling some type of way.

The standout track has to be "Bea's Flat," a mesmerising ballad that showcases Baker at his most vulnerable and raw. His hauntingly beautiful trumpet solos will leave you breathless, while the rest of the crew provides the perfect backdrop for his brilliance.

Overall, "Chet Baker & Crew" is a timeless classic that deserves a spot in every jazz lover's collection. So go ahead, pour yourself a glass of your finest scotch, dim the lights, and let Chet Baker serenade you into the night. Trust us, you won't regret it.
